Dear Donald Trump

Why I can't support this Republican candidate.

Donald Trump,

Soon, the people of America will decide whether or not you will be the next person to run this country. While many find your "honesty" appealing, I do not. I believe you are honest, for the most part. I believe that you speak exactly what is on your mind, and I find the things that are on your mind to be very troubling. You have called women names based on their weight, breast size, and appearance. You have judged people based on the color of their skin or their religious preference. You say you stand with the Constitution, but what about freedom of religion? When you threaten to ban Muslims from entering the country, you are shredding the first amendment. You have stated that you are allowed to sexually assault a female just because you're rich and famous, and you believe you can get away with it. Of course, the second you are accused of sexual assault, the woman making the allegations is a "liar". You have called yourself a man of Christian values, but doesn't the Bible say to love thy neighbor? It doesn't say, "Love thy neighbor as long as they aren't gay, Muslim, or poor," it says, "Love thy neighbor," with no exceptions added. You also have the nerve to judge Hillary Clinton based on the fact that her husband cheated on her, but you cheated on wife number one with wife number two, and wife number two with wife number three. I'm pretty sure the Bible is against adultery as well. A few months ago, you were worried about transgender going into the "incorrect" bathroom, claiming that they would sexually harass our daughters. However, you are currently in the middle of a trial for the rape of a minor. You are a violent man. We have heard you say that you will torture innocent women and children of our enemies, which is not only morally wrong, but would also mean you would be committing war crimes. You would be ordering our soldiers to commit war crimes. You claim to love and support our troops, but you stood on stage and shamed the name of a fallen soldier.

I cannot support you for these reasons, Donald Trump. I can't, and I won't.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
